Conquering the monkey bars is a rite of passage for children in the playground and the experience is brought to life with this colorful Straight Rung Horizontal Ladder. The rungs are fairly close together which allows younger children to complete the set without too much struggle as they move across the eight bars. Older children may choose to miss out a rung and monkey their way across fairly quickly, possibly even adding in a turn and going straight back to the other side when they’re trying to impress friends. Upper body strength is key when using the Straight Rung Horizontal Ladder and arms, shoulders and backs will get a good workout after successive repetitions on these bars. Promote a real love for movement, flexibility and gymnastic ability at an early age with this set of monkey bars in a playground or park. On either end of the overhead ladder there are vertical climbing ladders to assist them to the first rung. The bars are high enough to be an exciting challenge, but not so high that they’ll hurt themselves if children need to drop to the ground by letting go.
